#ReadYourWorld

July 19, 2012

In honor of the fact that I will soon be embarking upon a major novel revision for my next book, due out in 2013, I set my mind a-pondering on the topic of what we actually spend our time on when we sit down to revise. I don't know about you, but for me, you could probably have a pie chart that's 75% staring blankly at the computer and going "derrrr."

I realize now that I forgot a critical slice of the pie: PROCRASTINATION. That would be a very large slice.

--Screeching, "I've got it now!" and typing furiously.--Deleting and muttering, "No, I don't have it after all."--Wishing book would fix itself.--Fantasizing about new book that would surely be much better than THIS one, if only you weren't stuck revising this one.

Um, the distressing thing about this is that I DEFINITELY just ate not one but TWO pieces of cheesecake (sick, I know) while avoiding the writing work on my desk. And then here is this pie of truth... AAAGH!

And hey, Tanita, you should totally use that procrastinating generative energy. Helps me heaps to get new ideas/blog post seeds/etc if I give myself 15 minutes (strict... with a timer) to stall productively before "really" writing.

Who We Are

Wonderland started in 2005 as a collaborative space for our writing group to share news, links, book recommendations, and thoughts on writing for young adults.

Through various alterations, we've still held to our core vision, and we're still hoping to find Wonderland.

Now team-blogging as tanita & aquafortis, we blog to share our enjoyment and celebrate young adult books, especially speculative fiction, adventure, suspense, and graphic novels with diverse characters (including diversity of body/ability, ethnicity, culture, gender, and faith). Click the links to discover more about what makes us who we are and about what we do. You can also visit Tanita on her official author site, and aquafortis on her official author site.
